Fall Into Fantasy (+ Giveaways)

For the friends who have been reading the blog for a long time, or those of you I’m friends with on Goodreads, it’s pretty obvious that I love fantasy. I’ve been reading fantasy for as long as I can remember, and most of my favorite books to date are fantasy novels. {I loved it so much that I even wrote, with the help of a few blogger friends, a post full of fantasy recommendations for Cassie!}

Hannah and I recently bonded over our love of fantasy reads, especially because we shared some favorite series! Hannah is a relatively new fantasy reader, while I’ve been reading for ages – but our love for fantasy is pretty much at the same level of love, love, love. So, inspired by our love of fantasy and our desire to read more of it, we decided to collaborate to celebrate fantasy – and thus, Fall into Fantasy was born!

Fall Into Fantasy is a three-week long celebration, where we’ll be talking about our passion for fantasy, reviewing a few fantasy novels, and writing some fantasy-inspired posts! We’re very excited to be bringing this event to our readers, and hopefully shining some light on fantasy and some great fantasy novels. In particular, we decided to take on the following fantasy novels:

Hannah and I hope you’ll join us as we celebrate fantasy for the rest of the month of November! We’re really excited about all the posts we’ve got lined up, and we hope you will be too.

My favorite fantasy series is Splintered series by A.G. Howard. I love Anita's version of dark but whimsical Wonderland. I loved the Stolen Songbird, so The Hidden Huntress by Danielle Jensen is on my fantasy wishlist

I read fantasy pretty well exclusively when I was a kid but then kind of fell out of it. The Song of Fire and Ice series had gotten me interested again. I would love to read The Young Elites, The Winner's Curse and The Red Queen!

This sounds so neat! I love fantasy. I just finished Heir of Fire a couple of weeks ago, and am still dying from FEELS OVERLOAD, but am still looking forward to reading all your posts! All hail the fantasy genre. :)

My favorite fantasy of all time is a hard choice! I love Harry Potter, of course, but I also love George R R Martin's books, too. And, the Fairyland books have won my heart! If I had to choose one YA, it would probably be Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta. One adult fantasy would be The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch.

I have the second and third (and the novellas) from the Throne of Glass series on my wishlist!

So far my favorite thing about the Raven Cycle is the characters. Even the bad ones are hard not to appreciate. They are all so well written and developed. Blue and her boys are amazing cast of characters and I've just fallen in love with them.

I haven't started The Raven Cycle yet because I'm waiting for the series to be complete...I hate having to wait for books to release so this is my solution. But, I am chomping at the bit to start, the first 3 books are sitting on my shelf, tempting me every day. I love Maggie's books!

I love how complex the whole world is. It would be so easy to simplify issues like the economic issues, the abuse issues, or any of the friendship dynamics, but instead Maggie creates a wonderfully believable world.

My favourite thing is Maggie's words. Without the right words and her careful attention to character and setting construction, this story could never be what it is. It is a most wonderfully stacked house of cards.

I'm so excited about these books! And the art on those cards is amazing. I'm a tarot reader so I tend to get extra excited about cards. But I've been wanting to read these books since I first heard about them. I'll be honest - I'm not familiar with the author at present but the premise seems so interesting and I love discovering new authors to love and share with others, so fingers crossed on this one (either way, I'll be getting my hands on these books, for sure)!

My favorite would have to be either Bloodlines by Richelle Mead, The Archived by Victoria Schwab, or A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray! It's hard to pick one! One on my wish list the new Throne of Glass hardcover change! I want them all to match because it is also one of my favorites... :)

I love fantasy books! They're the best when you just want a fun, captivating read. Some of my favourites are all the series by Richelle Mead (honestly, in my opinion that woman can do no wrong! haha), and obviously classics like Harry Potter! There's also lots of them in my tbr, like the Lunar Chronicles, the Throne of Glass series and the Shatter Me series, among others, which I can't wait to read. :)Thank you for the giveaway!

My favorite fantasy novels are Study series by Maria V. Snyder, Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, and Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente. The Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta and Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson are on the top of my wishlist. :)
